13. Proper use - other recommendations and guidelines

13.2 Securing loose equipment

Safely secure all heavy equipment, like anchors, before leaving shore.
Objects that roll freely in the boat during manoeuvring can damage the structures of boat and distract
the driver.

13.3 Respect for the environment

All seas, lakes, archipelagos and so on are unique. Preserving their natural resources is important and
the responsibility of every boatman.
Do not:
- spill fuel or oil
- discharge sewage into the water
- leave debris or waste on islands or dump them into the water
- discharge detergents or solvents into the water
- make excessive noise on the water or in harbours
- cause a disturbing wake, especially in narrow channels and shallow water
In the Baltic Sea, sewage may not be disposed of close to shore. Use pump-out stations to empty the
holding tank.
Comply with any other local environmental laws and guidelines. Familiarise yourself with International
regulations against marine pollution (MARPOL) and ensure compliance.
Maintain the exhaust fume system and make no alterations that might increase noise levels.
